Brig’s shield bash can make jumps off angled/sloped ground?
Ball’s Piledriver can do double damage?
Brig’s can 3-tap Tracer?
GOATS?
Insta mei nerfs the moment OWL teams field Mei?
Ahh the memories.
Anyone else wanna take a stroll with me down OW history? tell me your fav bug, balance issue, complaint. Or just vent about balance.
Maybe you actually liked GOATS, or dive was the bomb composition. A lot of dps mains, this is a safe place if Brig 1.0 gives you ptsd. I won’t laugh or mock you. I am a brig main, and I remember upsetting many enemies.
I fondly remember Brigitte’s flail tech that gave her a super-dash and was so sad when it got patched out. Mercy’s unintended mobility bug got turned into a feature. Brig’s got deleted. Still feelsbad. I never did anything flashy with it, but it was very fun.
I also remember those days where Brig could literally duel any hero in the game and win, barring like Junkrat, Rein and maybe Pharah. Because her self-heal was so nuts. I remember the armor packs and how much i loved them. I remember when the armor on her ult lasted until it was chipped through. I remember when she had 700hp on sheild, then when it got nerfed to 350…jeez I could go on lol.
I remember being really upset watching the character get nerf after nerf and rework after rework for months and months after. Maybe she needed all those nerfs, but it still didn’t feel good to watch the character get weaker and have to constantly re-adjust your playstyle after so many freaking reworks.
I don’t really play Brig anymore, I don’t really like what they’ve done to her and I’m tired of having to relearn how to play the hero every 6 months because she keeps getting changed. But I still pull her put occasionally when there are really annoying, high-mobility characters that are just trying to destroy our backline, or on 3rd point defense points / certain control point maps.
The last thing i’ll mention is that I remember when they giga-buffed Reaper in an attempt to counter Goats. His lifesteal was literally so bonkers. I remember when the win condition in lower-ranked comp was to just pocket the reaper for free wins. To this day I still have that habit when there’s a reaper on my team lol.
Oh, and I also remember when the Overwatch League used to actually get views. Honestly idk if it still does or not, but I know that their views really suffered after they left Twitch.
Oh this was when Brig, Sym, and Torb’s abilities all stacked!
Scary, very scary times.
Much needed change though.
My brief experience with Torb was during his armor pack meta. I threw down my turret, leveled it up, and just farmed armor packs for the team. Dumb meta, but really fun at the time.
